Has anyone else attempted university in their 30's+ (after years out of school)?
I was 37. Finished my MFA in 3 1/2 years while teaching full time and commuting 40 miles.
Yes, I got my Masters in Clinical Psychology when I was 37.
Yes it was good! at Liverpool Uni they had a scheme for older people who hadnt been to uni before and we were half mature students give or take and half youngsters. It worked really well in tutorial group s for instance the young ones were shy and mostly had got through A levels by regurgitating what they learned so learning to think for themselves was a big challenge and we were there supporting them by showing the way. I have 3 degrees but haven't used them in what seems like another lifetime ago.
At 31, a short learning curve then was as easy as hell, I got high distinctions, and I never finished high school, so had to wait until I could go in as an adult learner.
